Only one surprise after my six months and that was slipping into a slow depression that had been easily treatable. Other than that everything is good! > Anyway, I’m very optimistic about the end of tx…I was clear at 12 weeks > and like I said, am confident that the worst of the sides were over.

You might get to feeling dragged down, a lot of people do, but the last couple of weeks – for me, at least – were a breeze (relatively) knowing it was going to be over soon. G

I felt noticeably better every day after stopping the Riba. Enjoy it! G

The rash lasted about 2 months, but is mostly gone now! I think my body just adjusted…I don’t think it was any of the lotions, potions or creams. Thanks Buster! David PS What is the cream? Others may benefit. "buster" <as…@cox.net> wrote in message

Well I did bump along the bottom emotionally in the last third of tx. IThat was the pointwhen it started to really grind me down. The good news for you though is that this info is totally irrelevant to you because my last third was from 16 to 24 weeks. You’ve already been through that bit. Also, it affects everybody differently anyway. — Paul Use the reply by email facility in your newsreader to send email

When I started tx, I made a little calendar of weeks of treatment with the date, shot number and number of remaining shots. I hung in on the wall in my bathroom, and each Friday, after I did my shot, I would draw a big checkmark in the next empty box. And you think you’re obsessing…. hahahahaha, you’re not even close! Seriously, congratulations Dave, you’re well on the home stretch and the ball is still way up in the sky. I’ll bet you can see home plate from where you are, and you’re getting closer to it every day… the crowd roars, "DAY – VID – DAY – VID – DAY – VID – " and the popcorn vendors can’t take their eyes off the action on the field!

I seem to remember keeping a running track of my shots all the way to number 60. Good thing I quit when I did because I wouldn’t have been able to keep posting from the hospital a week after stopping. Dwight
Response:
Two-thirds done. 66.7% 32/48. 32 down, 16 to go. Obsessing about numbers? Maybe a bit! The worst is definitely over (I hope) but it would be nice to feel normal. Did anyone who is finished experience any surprises in the last few months? Maybe I don’t want to know! Anyway, I’m very optimistic about the end of tx…I was clear at 12 weeks and like I said, am confident that the worst of the sides were over. This group has been very helpful, even though I mostly lurk. Thanks, everyone! Get well and stay well, David Day 224 of 336. ;-)

At least in my case the last few months-weeks-days were pretty easy. Today is the first day of no Riba, tonight will be the 1st Friday (in the last 48) with no shot! Scott "Canadave" <yeahri…@noway.com> wrote in message
